This article is about the Anti-Air Shade Turret from Halo: Reach. For other uses of the term 'Shade', see its disambiguation page.
The Anti-Air Shade Turret is a Shade turret that fires anti-aircraft plasma bolts in 5-round bursts. Unlike the Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun and the Fuel Rod Shade Turret, it sports energy shields on both sides of the open cockpit, protecting the occupant from enemy infantry, but also making it extremely visible in low-light situations. It cannot be boarded by Spartans due to these shields, as well as the turret auto-targeting any player within its line of sight, making it impossible to board.
